Sandra Bullock's real life "MICHEAL"

chicity said:
Part of me thinks: How wonderful, that after all this, there will be love in her life, and she can focus on her new life raising this little boy instead of all the heartbreak around her.

....But another, possibly wiser, possibly just more cynical part of me thinks that if you're a Celebrity whose ex has been exposed making the Hitler heil, revealing that you have a secret Black baby is a very tactical pr move.

Call me your cynical brother, I am with you sister.

Strongly disagree, I made sure that my kids knew/depended on me just as much as my wife from day one. In fact, even before day one, as soon as they were old enough in the womb to hear my voice I was reading to them so they would know my voice when they were born. It is a very powerful and meaningful memory to me that both of our kids calmed right down and stopped crying immediately in the birthing room, once they heard my voice. I made sure that we both fed the bottles, changed the diapers, sung/read to the kids ect., long story short there was nothing my wife did short of breastfeeding, that I did not do as well from day one when I was not at work. That, in my opinion is what a real dad does, and one of many reasons why 9 and 7 years later we have such a great, respectful, powerful, loving bond between the four of us.

Very admirable, and makes you a cut above most men, and I'm not saying that in an air kiss way. Every parent and every child is different, and what's best for all parties is different. Of course, I'd be lying through my teeth if I didn't admit I'd prefer a partner that was so active.

Doesn't count he was raised here and has no real connection to that background.

Have you read dreams from my father? Have you attended his former church? Obama has went to Kenya a couple of times. He has spent some time with his Kenyan grand mother and half siblings. I dont know if I would say Obama does not have a connection whit his african roots.

Oprah Chopra said something along these lines "yes there is racism in America, yes most blk american kids are in disadvantage. But the true disadvantage lies in African children. When I visited chicago inner city schools, kids ask me for I-pod and Air Jordan. But when I visited dirty south african village schools those orphan children walking around bare feet asked me for a book"

I have and its a surfical relationship at best. I'm not saying he doesn't acknowledge them as relatives but they aren't family. Its the family of a man he barely knew that shares his dna its not the same as the family he knew growing up. It can never compare.

LOL @ Oprah Chopra

I remember hearing about that and that does it make it sound better, but I think a lot of these kids in foster homes and orphanages would be happy just to have someone to call "Mom" and "Dad", some stability and they'd probably be happy to have a book too.

Dude Obama went to Columbia in early 80's and Harvard in early 90's. I am sure there were lots of Africans licking the door of IV league institutions at that time. Also his former pastor and his harvard professor/friend are very afrocentric. I am sure they encouraged him to keep up with his roots.


Not to diagress but I have seen quite a few highly achieved intellectuals who are very light skin and who has a white mother being very afrocentric.
I have even fought once before with these highly acheived light skin professor who wears african dashiki and garb for wearing a GQ look on a cultural day, lol. It always intrigues me about those light skin intellectual brothers who are way afrocentric than even the dark african themselves. LoL

Well that was pretty racist lol. I hear you that him going to Columbia and Harvard and having Afro centric professor might have helped him keep up with his roots but I'm sure he identified a lot more with being African American if for any other reason to fit in
